We limit their use of your personal information to the performance of the specific service we have requested. We do not provide your personally identifiable information to mailing list vendors or solicitors for any purpose. When we provide personal information to a service provider, we expect these providers to safeguard your information, use the information only for the intended purposes and abide by applicable law.

Maintaining Accurate Information
Our goal is to maintain accurate, up-to-date customer records in accordance with industry standards. When you or any other customer provides us with updated information, we will endeavor to update our records as soon as possible.

Generally, we will archive it in accordance with the requirements under applicable securities laws. Please note that unless we expressly advise you otherwise, our email facilities do not provide a guaranteed means for completely secure and private communications between us and yourself.
Although every attempt will be made to keep your information confidential, from a technical standpoint, there is still a risk. For that reason, please do not use email to communicate information to us that you consider to be confidential. If you wish, you may contact us instead via telephone or by facsimile. Additional security is available to you if you equip your internet browser with 128-bit secure socket layer encryption, which provides more secure transmission.
